Well, I recently discovered that Misty Knight will be undergoing major changes in some HULK: AFTERSMASH thing and will be getting a new team, so it's possible H4H will come back after that is done, either as #16 or as a new #1.

I hope H4H stays around, but I must admit that I don't like the title as much as I did when Palmiotti and Gray were on. The first 8 issues were fabulous, filled with tons of old baddies and nice, genuinely funny parts mixed in with tons of action. I like what Zeb Wells is doing but....the book sort of lost its punch a bit. Maybe too much Humbug, too, although what's been going on with the guy has been intiguing.
